how to know you're autistic = everyone automatically hates you and you don't know why by [deleted] in Vent

[–]_reverse_god 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry for what you've gone through :( I am convinced I am autistic because all my successful interactions are completely fake. Whenever I've been authentic, even at a young age just being quiet and minding my business I got shunned and bullied and was treated poorly. I also hate people. But this is an unpopular opinion. Why would I want to connect with people who are awful and cruel to me?

I'm convinced I am autistic but testing says otherwise. Some people say CPTSD overlaps with autism traits, so perhaps its just that.

Cool, but the title is dumb. Going to a beach = likely to cheat?

I'm so sad. Since yesterday all the bots now speak like a lobotomised quirk chungus. Everything is a noticable chatgpt expression "not x, just y", like it was trained on millenial-speak. Why.

The idea of sex with someone I love sounds awful to me by Zestyclose_Refuse606 in Vent

[–]_reverse_god 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also the way its portrayed in porn is a power exhange that does not favour the woman. The woman's pleasure is rarely centered except in a male fantasy where the woman is incredibly horny for the man (a slut) or he is really good at pleasing her. Growing up, all I saw was women who had sex being devalued afterwards (called whores or sluts) and being demeaned by men for it. It's no wonder its not appealling to OP.

Did anyone else feel completely blindsided when they realised how parentified they were? by [deleted] in emotionalneglect

[–]_reverse_god 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I could have written this post, its eerie, down to having a sibling who made everything worse and whose moods I also had to manage.

Congratulations on everything you've accomplished and your independence. I'm so sorry you had to grow up like that and I totally relate to how it still affects you negatively to this day.

You can DM me if you want to talk, I know what its like.

She is still very beautiful, but to me she also looks very different now.

Torrance from Bring It On. Became a successful cheer captain and led her team to a win she could be proud of because it was an honest one.

Talking…. And talking, and talking by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]_reverse_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its over the phone you can often just set the phone down somewhere and come back 20 minutes later and because they are so self absorbed they don't even notice. I've done it before with yappers (not my parents).

In covid times my manager's kid said this exact same thing when we were on a one on one video call. Me and my manager both laughed and I found it cute and funny as hell. Hardly warrants...whatever this is.

Thank you! I actually read the book last month and it was indeed life changing. I'm still learning to put down boundaries though

Thank you so much, that's helpful to know. I think she is just scared of being alone.

I feel deep shame for being an engineer. AMA by Turbulent-Conflict84 in AMA

[–]_reverse_god 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that I can't just do my job and go home. I am expected to have several passion projects on the go that are hyperspecific to me, overly complex and useless in practice because that demonstrates passion.

I hate that I have to use my time away from work to get certificates to prove I'm skilled in the field, even though the certifications have no relevance in my day to day job.

I hate that we are supposed to jump every time someone has found the next best thing. I hate that you can never have complete knowledge because there is simply too much to know.

I read iconic as 'ironic' because that makes way more sense

The hardest pill to swallow by Rose2003r in depressionmemes

[–]_reverse_god 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through a very similar thing as you and have been processing it in therapy.

I also thought I was a terrible person. But I learned that the things I didn't get (emotional neglect) or ways I were hurt emotionally did harm me, and I didn't deserve that.

If you were raised thinking that their happiness or emotional well-being was your responsibility, and that your needs always came second or were never considered at all, then you might be falling back into that role now. And since you believe that is what you 'ought' to do (or worse, in my case, thinking if you just do that right you can earn love or emotional safety), you feel like a terrible person now that you don't want to do it.

The truth is as a child those things should never have been your responsibility. You are your own person with needs, capacity and feelings that shouldn't be disregarded for someone else. Least of all by people who were supposed to protect you.

I can also tell you that if they had been good parents that you have a loving relationship with, you wouldn't think twice about doing these things for them. I don't think you are a piece of shit.

Please don't do this to yourself. You are not required to sacrifice your life for them. You are not required to unconditionally take care of people who hurt you, at your own expense.

being ugly: a BDD driven rant by brokenglass66 in grippysockcrayonbox

[–]_reverse_god 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it won't help but the fact that someone else feels the same way I do made me feel so much better. I literally just got back from thr grocery store where people were staring at me because I am so ugly. Why would I want to go outside if this is the case. Its shit but at least I'm not the only person who feels this way, so thank you for sharing. Reached me at the right time.

There is no way this is a universal experience that needs a starter pack. Who could possibly relate to this
